Smart Ways to Get Chachkis

[Quasialamodo]

Hi super savers!

So, I will admit that the last time I was at the World, I was 11 and they hadn't even started construction on Animal Kingdom yet! Now that I'm going back for my Disneymoon, I thought I'd hit up the wisest spenders and savers I know.

What's the best way to allot money to chachkis and souvenirs at the World? I know I'm not gonna wait until I'm at home to purchase. Let's just be real.

What do you think? A finite amount on a gift card? The rumored Disney dollar? What's your favorite or best way to both spend what you'd like without breaking the bank or your back trying to lift your suitcase on the ME Ride home?

It's tough to know what you will want before you go.... I like to troll the disney store theme parks section online, see what they offer, then compare to park prices when I see something I HAVE to have SOmetimes they have the same merch,so I get it on sale online, (sometimes while I'm still in Disney,I place that order!) or if it's a specialty item, I decide if it's within my budget,and buy in parks. Last trip, I had to have some kitchen canisters, but waited till I got a 20% coupon on the bottom of a qs receipt, then shopped accordingly.(usually before noon) to save some $$$. Set a budget ahead of time that you can't exceed,then shop till you drop! (or have to stop)
